Use & Care Manual

ENGLISH

This kind of electric heating elements use a ribbon wire located under the glass surface to provide the heat for cooking. The heating elements will cycle on and off, depending on the power level set and displayed by the control.

Temperature limiters

Each radiant heater has its own temperature limiter to protect the glass cooking surface from extremely high temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by cycling the element.

Multiple heating elements (dual or triple) consist in two or three radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small (main inner element) or the outer ones may be selected for use. The inner elements always work when an outer one is selected.

A special multiple heating element consist in two independent radiant ribbon elements which can be connected enabling a bridge element in order to have a large heating area.

When the bridge is enabled, the whole area work as a single unit, it’s not possible anymore to set different power levels on the three elements connected.

All the settings described in the following table are recommended, provided that the element has not been preheated before. The values in the table represent indicative settings, given that the actual values may depend on:
